# Renaming devices on iPhone/iPad

This page provides instructions for renaming devices in your Meshnet on the iOS/iPadOS app.

## Rename a device

To rename any device in your Meshnet, follow these steps:

1. Open **NordVPN**.
2. Go to  **Products** <img src="/files/fnGLtxGkWpaBrxQKqCU4" alt="" data-size="line"> > **Meshnet** <img src="/files/ZKtk7xbdpRRtNXmrvNrx" alt="" data-size="line">.
3. Depending on which device's name you want to change, do one of the following:
   * To rename this device, tap the More ![](/files/CCx8RTTzCv8qYY5qXIQt) menu in the upper-right corner, and select **Rename this device**.

     &#x20;
   * To rename a peer device:
     1. Select the **Manage devices** card.
     2. Tap the arrow button next to the device you want to rename.

        &#x20;
     3. Select the arrow next to **Name**.

        <div align="left"><figure><picture><source srcset="/files/o5BTHJZCKn9mklbx2b9Q" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"><img src="/files/nS2vlZzjDbYoTWqBDUPY" alt="Arrow button on the right of the Nord name is highlighted." width="375"></picture><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

        &#x20;
4. In the **Name** field, replace the pre-filled Nord name with the new nickname you want the device to have.
5. Tap **Save** to apply the change.

   <div align="left"><figure><picture><source srcset="/files/5iOuDasWDEFKKXvG0jNu" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"><img src="/files/ysd5hn7Zjzowch0HxBNF" alt="&#x22;Save&#x22; button highlighted." width="375"></picture><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

The new custom nickname for the device should now be displayed in your Meshnet device list and synced across all your personal devices.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/features/renaming-devices/ios.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
